And I can tell you that persuading an 18 year old girl to have a chest-exposing 12 lead ECG done when you are a male crew, is nigh on impossible.<BR/><BR/>I've seen young people in cardiac arrest...none of my colleagues presume one way or the other.Xfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08189044083128101123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498194182629204271.post-83748719891044441392008-03-03T12:05:00.000+00:002008-03-03T12:05:00.000+00:00When a call comes in for a teenager with chest pai...<I>When a call comes in for a teenager with chest pain, we have one of several possible options: (1) they have no chest pain; (2) they are one of the rare few with cardiac problems; (3) they have another medical problem which has produced chest pain or (3) they have taken drugs.</I><BR/><BR/>And dont automatically assume that they're making it up! 3/4 ambulances did that (The 1/4 that didnt was the first one that was called for me, did an ecg, nothing wrong, and we went to my GP instead of sitting in A+E), the other 2/4 didn't even put me on an ECG, and the last one that i had didn't want to put me on an ECG, i insisted, and I ended up being blued into hospital with O2, GTN, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
